BACKGROUND Patterns of concerted fluctuation in populations-synchrony-can reveal impacts of climatic variability on disease dynamics. We examined whether malaria transmission has been synchronous in an area with a common rainfall regime and sensitive to the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), a global climatic phenomenon affecting weather patterns in East Africa. METHODS We studied malaria synchrony i...

Resistant strains of Aspergillus nidulans were obtained by one-step selection on high concentrations of various inhibitors; each strain was mutant in a different gene conferring resistance to actidione (Act), p-fluorophenylalanine (p f ) , teoquil ( te) , iodoacetate (Iod) or malachite green (mg). Some mutant alleles have been firmly, others tentatively, located. For comparative purposes attemp...

The influence of phase and amplitude Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the interannual variability summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) over North East India (NEI) has been studied first time from 1960 to 2015. independent contribution different phases IOD ENSO in variabilities ISMR NEI is explained by correlation found that precipitation decreases due anomalous wind ve...

Abstract REGULUS is an Iodine-based electric propulsion system. It has been designed and manufactured at the Italian company Technology for Propulsion Innovation SpA (T4i). integrates Magnetically Enhanced Plasma Thruster (MEPT) its subsystems, namely electronics, fluidic, thermo-structural in a volume of 1.5 U. The mass envelope 2.5 kg, including propellant. targets CubeSat platforms larger th...

Indian Ocean meridional heat transport (MHTIO) drives climate and ecosystem impacts, through changes to ocean temperature. Improved understanding of natural variability in tropical subtropical MHTIO is needed contextualize observations future projections. Previous studies suggest that El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Dipole (IOD) can drive MHTIO. However, it unclear whether internally genera...

IMPORTANCE Initial treatment for amblyopia of the fellow eye with patching and atropine sulfate eyedrops improves visual acuity. Long-term data on the durability of treatment benefit are needed. OBJECTIVE To report visual acuity at 15 years of age among patients who were younger than 7 years when enrolled in a treatment trial for moderate amblyopia. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In a mu...

A single electro-optical (EO) sensor used in space debris observation provides angle-only information. However, position can be derived using simultaneous optical measurements obtained from two EO sensors located at separate sites, and this is commonly known as triangulation. In paper, we propose a new triangulation algorithm to determine position, its analytical expression of Root-Mean-Square ...

Abstract This study aimed to detect the water content in peatland and cropland associated with rainfall deficiencies positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events. The condition of is a biological indicator ecosystems that commonly contributes hot spots Sumatra. data were processed using spatial average at two areas, variabilities analyzed index (DMI). From 2015 until 2020, this employed Mode Index...
